Encyclopedia : F : FL : FLI : Flik

---

In radio astronomy, the unit flik was coined by a group at Lockheed in Palo Alto, California as a substitute for the SI derived unit W cm^-2 sr^-1 µm^-1, or watts divided by centimeters squared, steradians, and micrometers.

This is primarily used as a unit of spectral radiance or sterance. While it started out used only in Lockheed, many in the radio astronomy field adopted its use.
